I'd also like to know if there's a server available. I know this may be a
question without a solution, because the faqs say there isn't a server for
Win 3.11 but if anyone could suggest a solution, VNC or alternative, I'd be
grateful.
I have an old 486 running WFWG 3.11 which I'm aiming to use as a print
server for a home network and for backup of data files off other machines
onto it's hard drive. At the moment it's running with a monitor attached,
as I have to exit Windows gracefully to avoid corrupt files rather than
just giving it a three finger salute. Also I occasionally have to review
the screen. It's an awful waste of a monitor which I'd rather transfer to
another machine for the kids. The other machines on the network are Win98SE
but I don't think the 486 is up to Win 95/98. I'd like to leave it running
WFWG, which works, but have the ability to control it remotely and detach
the monitor. A friend recommended VNC based on his experience at work but I
seem to be too far behind the technological curve for it. I have mused
about putting Linux or something on the 486 but so far I don't speak any
version of *nix and I'm not sure if the services would function properly
with Win98.
Does anyone know of a potential solution, either with VNC or some other
program?
Thanks,
Michael
